Centauria Wild

“Simply the best, thank you!”

Centauria Wild is undoubtedly one of the best stays we had whilst in Sri Lanka.

Centauria Wild is undoubtedly one of the best stays we had whilst in Sri Lanka. In fact, the hospitality we experienced from the staff at the hotel, wonderfully led by Damitha, was probably one of the best of my life (and I’ve visited 35 countries and counting!). From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by front of house and provided with some much needed refreshments after what had been an incredibly long journey from Galle. The view from our room was indescribable, absolutely breathtaking - a panoramic view of the Udawalawe reservoir and the surrounding park. I honestly haven’t seen anything like it and nothing comes close to the feeling of sitting on the balcony and watching the sunset over a view like that. The staff around the hotel are incredibly warm and friendly, always smiling and checking in on how you are, which I thought was lovely. We bumped into Damitha in the evening of our first day and he showed genuine concern for how we’d get home given the Middle East crisis, reflecting how much time and effort he puts into knowing his customers and building true connection with them. I’d booked a safari for my mum’s 65th birthday and had asked that something be organised to commemorate the day. Not only had they beautifully arranged the bed in advance of our arrival, they outdid themselves on her actual birthday in ways beyond anything I could have ever imagined. Damitha went out of his way to make sure that breakfast was still available for us although we arrived back late from the safari and we had the most wonderfully delicious breakfast spread (thank you to the kitchen team too!). Little did we know that this would be followed by a birthday cake celebration that outdid anything I could have expected, not only did they sing happy birthday to my mum as they brought out the elaborate cake on a trolly to some background music with a candle for her to blow out. It all felt incredibly special and showed a level of care and consideration I was truly grateful for. My mum and I were absolutely blown away by the immaculate service we received throughout. The team paid attention to small details like helping us arrange tuktuk drivers when we couldn’t get them on PickMe, giving us suggestions of where to visit and how to get there, taking photos of us to help us remember special moments and we even got a touching note from Damitha as we left. I am so grateful to the team for all their hard work and would go there again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for a hotel in Udawalawe, look no further than Centauria Wild - their service is second to none, you will be thoroughly cared for and I truly hope to go back there someday. Thank you Damitha and thank you to the CW team (special shoutout to Asanka, Imesha, Poora, Soratha and Chirath)! We’ve got memories to last a lifetime

After a long train/car journey from Nuwara Eliya we had an enjoyable afternoon safari at Udawalawe, before checking in to this picturesque hotel nestled off the main road, among verdant trees. Monkeys were in them, as were chipmunks and birds (unluckily no elephants). The room had a pleasant view of the reservoir, and birdsong was plentiful. Staff were friendly, but Wifi is patchy except if at the reception.
